i think that this is a really good combo if youre starting out on baitcasters and a backup reel for more experienced anglers

I have the Abu Garcia major league fishing combo, and I have a spot up with a 15 pound spider wire braid and I love it so far I have it set where I want it and I haven’t had it backlash one time

Always loved Abu Garcia. I have a Orra 7:1 w/ Vertios 2.0 (top water) , Orra 5:4 w/lighting rod Shock and a 6500c w/a cheap 8ft Walmart catfish rod. But for open face , Pfluger all the way

Thank you sir, I love your honest review. I'm a beginner for this kind of reel. If so, than this would be a great introductions reel combo for me. Again thank you kind sir. Subbed!

Throw a jitterbug on that calm water lol. I usually 20 lb braid on top water for it floats and rips through lilly pads
@thecluelessoutdoorsman9162 жыл бұрын
Quick question. When using braid what weight should I use for substitute for fluorocarbon? IE if the rod says 20lb fluorocarbon which braid (weight/diameter) should I use?
@lowlifeangler2 жыл бұрын
@@thecluelessoutdoorsman916 I usually use 30lb Trilene for top water on a 7:1 Abu Garcia. That line will float. That Berkley Crystal braid seem to break at mid cast after getting to cold. For Perch with light rig, I use 6-8lb braid . Fluorocarbon is great for crankbaits and divers. That line will sink It's on my 5:4 Abu Garcia

Is this better than the ABU Garcia Max Z baitcaster and Got them both in spinning reels like them.
@LookIDrum2 жыл бұрын
Would you recommend this or the Max X for a first baitcaster combo? The rods seem identical apart from the color, so I guess it comes down to the reel?
@greatamericansurvival2 жыл бұрын
Yes. It’s very easy to setup and allows you to use a wide variety of lure types.

Looking to purchase this combo. I noticed it comes in 7’ and 6.6” which size does anyone recommend?
@greatamericansurvival14 күн бұрын
If I’m fishing from the bank more often I’ll go shorter 6’6. If you spend more time in a kayak, bass boat or Jon boat go 7’0. What parts of the country are you in? I’m in Georgia near Athens. Go Dawgs.. Hope it helps. Cheers

Have you tried the newer lews xfinity solid hi viz orange?? I can’t really find a review on it..
@greatamericansurvival2 жыл бұрын
Yes. Actually got mine a couple weeks ago, very nice. I’ve been using a Lews Hack Attack also and that’s even smoother then the Xfinity. But on the Abu side I really like MacPro a lot another nice combo. What’s your favorite currently.

Just picked up this exact combo, been practicing in the front yard and my best cast distance is only about 20 yards. I'm a beginner and have nothing to compare it to. I can't seem to get it any further.

It’s a fine mix between brakes and spool tension. What weight line and lure are you throwing?
@justcallmelopez3 жыл бұрын
I got it figured out, added some weight but mostly I found a technique that works for me. I use the bottom of the rod as leverage and and whip the rod. Just gotta be careful not to lose my bait

Practice makes perfect. Once you get bait casting you’ll want to move to fly fishing.
@thecluelessoutdoorsman9162 жыл бұрын
Add some weight or braid. Adjust that tensioner and you should be good to go.

which one is better Max STX Baitcaster combo or the Abu Garcia® Max Pro Baitcast Combo?
@greatamericansurvival2 жыл бұрын
I like the MaxPro it’s just built better then the STX. The reel is very nice and super smooth . Short of the RevoX I think it’s one of the best combos Abu makes.

You can but honestly there are other combos that are built for Salt Water fishing. This combo can be used just make sure to wash and rinse your reel after each trip and then oil it after it dries off.
